Why extending your home with an Orangery adds value in 2025

With rising house prices, increased moving costs and stamp duty increases, many homeowners are choosing to extend rather than relocate. An orangery extension is a stylish, practical way to enhance your living space while significantly adding to your property’s value. Here’s why 2025 is the perfect time to invest in an orangery rather than moving home.

Moving Costs vs. Extending Your Home

Moving house can be costly, stressful, and disruptive, with expenses like rising stamp duty, legal fees, estate agents’ costs, and removals quickly mounting up. As of March 2025, the average property price in Surrey is approximately £595,000 and the total estimated cost of moving, including stamp duty, estate agent fees, legal fees, survey, removals, and additional expenses, would be approximately £32,949. Purchasing a £800,000 house would cost an average £43,600 – £51,400 of dead money.

By contrast, an orangery extension offers an elegant, functional way to enhance your living space, significantly boosting your home’s value without the hassle or expense associated with relocating.

Boost Your Property’s Value

A thoughtfully designed orangery is more than an extension; it’s an investment. Prospective homebuyers value flexible, naturally-lit spaces that can serve multiple purposes—from kitchen-diners and lounges to home offices.
Adding an orangery enhances both the functionality and attractiveness of your home, contributing significantly to its resale value especially in Surrey where the average house price per m² is between £5,000 – £7,000/m².

Tailored Bespoke Designs

Unlike conventional home extensions, an orangery is uniquely tailored to your individual style, home layout, and lifestyle.

Whether you choose a contemporary orangery with sleek lines and modern finishes or a traditional orangery that blends seamlessly with your existing home, our designs ensure harmony and elegance in every detail.

Comfortable Living Throughout the Year

Modern orangeries

offer year-round comfort, thanks to advanced insulation, energy-efficient glazing, and underfloor heating. Your new space will stay warm during colder months and pleasantly cool in summer, ensuring consistent enjoyment throughout the year.

Avoid the Hassle and Stress of Moving

Relocating isn’t just expensive—it’s often overwhelming. Extending your home with an orangery allows you to gain the extra space and comfort you seek while remaining in your familiar neighbourhood and cherished community. It’s a practical, elegant solution that enhances your current lifestyle without the challenges of moving.
